Welcome to the Unassisted Pregnancy and/or Childbirth group! Our goal is to support those who choose UC, educate the curious, inform the doubtful, and encourage one another.

Please remember that this is a SUPPORT group, NOT a debate group. All non-peaceful discussions/comments are grounds for deletion. Comments that diminish or belittle another member's experiences will not be tolerated. Disagreeing is always allowed, but do so respectfully.

Our UC journeys are unique, and both positive and negative experiences are welcome here. Full disclosure of potential risk is welcomed, and caring, informative posts about specific situations that may increase that risk are appreciated. However, statements condemning unassisted pregnancy/birth or homebirth in general, or comments that judge those who choose those options are unacceptable and will be deleted. In order to ensure that all different philosophies, beliefs, opinions, and parenting styles are welcome and respected, please follow these simple rules:

1. Personal attacks are unacceptable
2. Hate-speech is not permitted.
3. Do not deliberately disrupt the community.
4. Bullying or harassment will not be tolerated.
5. Illegal activity is not allowed on the site.
6. No XXX.
7. Don't solicit or reveal personal information or private content ~ yours or theirs.
8. No soliciting or SPAM.

Above all, come willing to learn and to teach, to uplift and be uplifted, and to strive together to make the best choices for our individual situations. We're glad you're here!
